  • Hiya Sue,
    Please can you add me to this challenge? Had our second child this Aug 2011 and whilst she wasn't fussed by Xmas this time round I don't think we will get away with it Xmas 2012! Not going to set a target am happy with whatever I manage to put away but determined to stick to this challenge!!!
    Thanks
    Nothing is impossible...
  • Hi, can I join please?

    Can believe Ive not come across this topic before. I got my 2year old one of those metal tins for christmas as a stocking filler and she loves putting coins in and using it as a rattle lol.
    Id like to aim for £300 for christmas for me and Ill even include my dd and give her a target of £30 so she can save for a toy she really wants :) (she has all my coins of 20p and under)
    S.P.C member 1662 - target £300

    Hi Sue, can I please join? I've been reading posts and think this is a fab idea. My plan is to deposit coppers and low silvers into pot. I often have loads of loose change that fall out of my purse and into my handbag. Now I can take great pleasure in putting them in a pot at the end of everyday. I've absolutely no idea what I can save using just loose change but it's going to be quite exciting doing the count up in November. I normally feel guilty if I treat myself over christmas but I would like to think I can indulge myself next year.

    Hello! Can I join please? I have a lovely bog-eyed fish money box who eats up all my and DH's coppers, think there's about £5 in there at the moment, and I know he'd love to make some friends :)

    Sparky, since you seem to be very knowledgeable.... can you quickly tell me what the 'thanks' button is used for? Sounds daft, but I mean is it used as a 'cheers mate that's helpful'... or like 'read this!' kind of acknowldgement... iyswim?? Ta!! xx

    AlternateMe
    The thanks button is a "Cheers mate that's helpful" kinda thing. I use it to keep up with the thread, the last post I've read doesn't give me the option to press the Thanks button but the next post does, iyswim :D HTH

    Sue will be along soon to allocate you all numbers, so please read post 1 on page 1 to see how SPC works. Sue will be impressed to know you've taken the time to read it as she put a lot of effort into writing it in the first place :D

  • Hi Sue

    I have registered to join SPC although spent £3.89 on Amazon on the sealed tin! Hopefully by time that arrives I will have an allocated number. My target is a realistic £100 knowing I'll probably only put in coins less than £1!

    Thanks

    Amy
